Hmmm.. watched the Singapore vs. Indonesia match live at Kallang Stadium yesterday... It was painted in red with only a small portion reserved for the white-wearing Indonesian fans... But then again, because the flags of the 2 countries are so similar, I mean you would be supporting either side if you wear red or white... Hahaha...
Anyway, shouted till my voice is kinda hoarse today, aggravating a cough I had since yesterday.. But it was fun.. Like not heart-stopping excitement or sth.. given that Singapore had like a 2 goal lead going into the final leg so if they lost it, it was like a major screw-up! I think I feel more excitement watching a Manchester United vs. Chelsea match or sth... but then again, last night was as close as I could get to any major soccer match! The bad thing about watching a match live is that there are no replays.. so if you missed the goal, well, you missed it! Heh! and there was no commentators... and since I didn't know who was who except for Agu Casmir simply because of his hair colour, I had no idea who was passing the ball to who. Hahaha.. I gotta admit I think I watched too many EPL matched... until I can sort of identify players from certain teams just be looking at their numbers or from their profile... Anyway, the Kallang wave was good... but quite out of point since you can't watch the action when the wave goes on... and because I was seating rather near the Indonesian fans, there were a few instances whereby Singaporeans were standing on the seats cause sth happened... Oh.. and not to mention spectators who think they know everything and they can play better than the players... criticizing and giving comments. What I didn't like was the fact that Singaporeans boo-ed whenever Indonesia's name was mentioned like when the starting XI was called and stuff like that.. Please show some graciousness. Or maybe it is due to the 'rivalry' before the match. However, all was over after the match when Indonesians recieved their medals to thundarous applause... :)
Hmmm.. so finally sth to show that Singapore soccer is not dead yet...
